Differential release of IL-6 by HIMECs after infection with TS+ and TS− trypomastigotes. (A) The trans-sialidase activity of unfractionated trypomastigotes (Unf ), trypomastigote populations with phenotypes TS+ and TS−, and L. major promastigotes. (B) IL-6 released by HIMECs after infection with the indicated trypomastigote populations and L. major promastigotes. (C) The morphology of TS−, TS+, and unfractionated trypomastigotes of the Silvio X-10/4 of T. cruzi stained with Diff-Quik. Original magnification: ×1,200.
